Why a Heated Concrete Driveway?

Heated concrete driveways have several compelling pros:

• Effortless Snow and Ice Management: A heated driveway eliminates the need for snow removal, ensuring a clear and safe surface throughout the winter.
• Unparalleled Durability: Concrete driveways are known for their longevity, and with the added benefit of heating, the concrete is protected from freeze-thaw cycles that can cause cracking.
• Low Maintenance: With no need for salting or shovelling, a heated driveway offers minimal upkeep, allowing homeowners to enjoy their outdoor spaces without the hassle.
• Aesthetic Appeal: With a range of material options, colours, and textures, a concrete driveway can be customized to complement the home’s contemporary design while maintaining a sleek and modern look.

 

The Process

A very important part of planning a heated driveway is finding the right heating system. Electric Systems use heating cables or mats are laid out over the compacted sub-base. The cables are spaced according to the design plan, ensuring even heat distribution. The cables are typically secured to the reinforcement mesh or rebar to keep them in place during the concrete pour. Hydronic Systems use flexible tubing (Pex pipes) laid out in a loop or serpentine pattern across the driveway. These pipes will circulate heated water from the other heat source. The tubing is attached to the reinforcement mesh or rebar for stability.

 

Elegant Design

The design of this heated concrete driveway perfectly complements the sophisticated architecture of the home. Clean lines and a smooth finish with subtle scoring patterns create a modern, elegant look that seamlessly transitions from the driveway to the outdoor living spaces.
